The sudden vanishing of Trillions of rupee from the economy added with the lack of availability of lower denomination notes have caused a sudden lose of purchasing power for the Indian people temporarily. The Government have assured to address the lack of currency in the next 50 days. But that means there will be more surprising steps in the coming days. Consider the new ₹2000 currency note. It is just a piece of paper with such a low quality that it cannot endure the day-to-day use. The common man does not need such a high denomination note for his day to day use. One day can be managed by below ₹1000. So what are the plans. The current lack of availability of ₹2000 currency notes means the RBI is considering this a...

Integration with QuickBooks is easy if you know the OAuth flow. QuickBooks uses the OAuth 1.0 specification. They provide libraries for PHP, Java and other popular languages. For ColdFusion/Railo, you can use the OAuth implementation from  http://oauth.riaforge.org/ .  Usually the error messages from QB are self-explanatory and are mostly related with Signature or the Access token/secret.

Sun Direct set-top boxes provides many features and like every other provider, their box also has a Child Lock to lock out channels you wish your children should not watch. But, there is an easy way to by-pass the lock and view channels without knowing the lock password. When you are on any channel that is locked, press the Favorite (yellow colored) button below the 4 way key on the Remote Control.  This will bring up the Favorite channel menu and at the same time, the channel that you are in will be view able.

The Janmashtami of 2016 is celebrated on 24th of August. If one look into the calendar, the star is Bharani and the Thidhi is Sapthami. So who decided this date to be the auspicious one? The answer is, the Thidhi has to be considered for Janmashtami, not the star. As Sree Krishna was born midnight, we consider the day on which the Thidhi will be Ashtami on midnight. So, 24th August 2016 is Sapthami for most part, but will be Ashtami on midnight when the auspicious birth took place and so the date is considered as Janmashtami.

Google have released a new app Duo for Video calling on Android devices. This app is an answer to Apple's FaceTime and Skype. Review: The app works nice with 3G connectivity. The video quality is comparable to that of FaceTime. If the connectivity is poor, the video will be paused and automatically resume when the connectivity is good. On initial use the app is nice. Need to wait and see the performance when more users join the service.
